What I find interesting is that she, in a 2.100 posts game, looked at the first 580 posts, decided that she found scum and said why bother with the rest.

Either she is following an agenda or extremely lazy town.

That seems more like scum pulling a random player(or group in this case) to give a read on then anything else.
 
Sorry for checking in late today, had a busy day at college. Also not completely sure how available I am tomorrow. I'll definitely be on mobile tomorrow, but I might still be able to follow the whole thing a bit and vote (tomorrow is day end right?)

Something about Kitsune's read on Fran/Dr. Worm feels off and I can't quite place my finger on it. Like there's a lot of fluff and weasel words in an attempt to make the read seem bigger than it actually is. The biggest example being right here:

Franconp enters the stage! Classic big Francorp read, trying to get on top of the game. Love it. Joke-responds to Dr. Worm for their vote against him. Makes me wonder what the point of it was in the first place. Spectacle? Playfulness? Little side-eye. Says his partner is "tasked with shitposting while I do the scum-hunting". So one side is concerned with PR and the other is concerned with data? Hmm. Sounds coordinated. A little side-eye here. Why can't both sides(tm) scum hunt? Isn't that the overall objective? Why is Dr. Worm trying to make a nice face for the pairing? Side-eye indeed.

Cut out the bullshit and get to the point. There's no reason to fill your reads with stuff like this unless you're trying to lead others on.
 
Fran's posting style makes me want to read him as scum, but I've felt similarly about him reading previous games where he's been town. I don't see anything in the actual content of his posts to raise any red flags. Dr. Worm is null.

while I will concede being really stupid

Dr. Worm saying "scum would want validation more than town". Is that why you were trying to lay low and cultivate an image? What I find curious here is that Dr. Worm talks about "driving that home" during my "spat" with WAMD, but Dr. Worm literally contributed nothing in that entire thing. So why does he think that he contributed? Was he coaching franconp? Were they C O L L U D I N G?

this reads like a parody of a tryhard scumhunter

Regardless of kitsune's read, what are people's thought on Dr. Fran?
I've liked what he has written. I don't have anything "This makes me really think they're town", but apart from Fran not being as tunnely as usual nothing has pinged me and Trigger having a town lean helped me feel confident.
 
Do think this is a comedy club or something...?

Your approach to their posts comes off as dishonest. I don't like it.

I generally try to have as much fun as I can with whatever it is that I do. If that comes across as dishonest to you, that's fine, I guess.

The read on of the first 570 posts? When do we get the one from the next 600?

when i'm not busy doing other things I guess? There's only so long I want a post to be, and it was already getting pretty up there.

The thing about Wormconp is that you have to read them as a pair. As a pair they come across super scummy.

If I read them as pair they come across null.
Since Fran is acting normal and Dr worm a bit weird.

Can you elaborate a bit more on how you come to the conclusion that they come across as SUPER SCUMMY ?
 
I clicked because it had my name, but this doesn't seem to be about me? I think it's a response to kingkitty.

I might have misgauged the context, but it came after your posts and during an argument and there wasn't a quote in it so I had to try and guess who it was referring to.

I'll do that later when I'm not super sleepy I guess. but basically the dynamic between them is super strange for people who were apparently coordinating quite a bit.

may I make a suggestion?

context often is better indicated by reading in threaded mode, as opposed to cherry-picking posts from the "Who Posted?" search

I actually like Frans posts. On Day 1 they were all a bit too long... And I kinda skipped some of them. :x But I saw that he poked everywhere, kinda like early-D1-Verelios, which I appreciate, so I can make my notes on more experienced people I simply have no idea how to poke.
Dr. Worm kinda annoyed me on D1 tbh. :p Just not a fan of shitposting. But he also poked later on, kinda followed Frans posting...

Kitsune if you go through the trouble of linking posts of early day 1... Why not go on? If you choose someone at random at least make a full check. Otherwise choose someone/a topic you actually have to say something to. I don't get the random stuff.

Anyways: I have the feeling Crimsonphia and Verelios both kinda stopped making their readlists? Maybe I overlooked them, but I didn't see an actual list. May be overrated, but I always like to read those to see where everyone stands, especially the players who seemed in "control" before. Crimsonphia all in all seems a bit less active than D1 tho. Maybe not with the amount of posts but in length/effort to research. Could simply be lack of time, but still gotta ask why?

Uh... What? "Colluding"? With a partner. In a game that has teams for a reason. Where every team has a partner chat.
Talking about other people in lovers chat, to get the other one's opinion on that first, doesn't seem like a crime to me.... Elaborate pls why that is a problem.

Muffin already wrote for him that he will only be on mobile tomorrow, but the same goes for me, duh. Thanks for the mention, partner. ;o
So I try to get some stuff done today, not sure if I can handle this forum on my phone, my first mobile post was a mess. Just sayiajin.

Also why must everyone be so sassy?? Pls stahp.

maybe you should try reading my read on you and you'll find out. spooky

Are you talking about this?:

Mentions it's rational for lovers to be super in contact.[/url] So was Dr. Worm's vote against their own partner planned, then, by that logic? If so, to what end?

Because it's pretty obvious that I was answering Sophia when she said it was townie that it could also be scum as they also scum as they also have partners. I didn't said anything about how they chats should be used or how coordinated a pair should be.

I think you are scum trying to twist our post to your benefit or you have a problem comprehending text. I don't think you do as it didn't happened last game so you should be scum.

You could say the same about me, since Daryll and me are not really coordinating either.

Not really following you.
